Nehemiah 4
1 And it cometh to pass, when Sanballat hath heard that we are building the wall, that it is displeasing to him, and he is very angry and mocketh at the Jews,
И бысть егда услыша Санаваллат, яко мы созидаем стены, и зло ему вменися, и разгневася зело, и посмеяшеся Иудеом,
2 and saith before his brethren and the force of Samaria, yea, he saith, 'What [are] the weak Jews doing? are they left to themselves? do they sacrifice? do they complete in a day? do they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish? — and they burnt!'
и рече пред братиею своею, иже бяху сила Соморов, и рече: что Иудее сии созидают свой град? Еда жрети будут? Или возмогут? Или днесь изцелят камение, повнегда быти им в прах земли сожженным?
3 And Tobiah the Ammonite [is] by him and saith, 'Also, that which they are building — if a fox doth go up, then it hath broken down their stone wall.'
И Товиа Амманитянин близ его прииде и рече им: еда пожрут, или ясти имут на месте своем? Не взыдет ли лисица и разорит стену каменей их?
4 Hear, O our God, for we have been despised; and turn back their reproach on their own head, and give them for a spoil in a land of captivity;
И рече Неемиа: услыши, Боже наш, яко сотворени есмы в посмеяние,
5 and do not cover over their iniquity, and their sin from before Thee let not be blotted out, for they have provoked to anger — over-against those building.
и обрати поношение их на главу их, и даждь их в посмеяние в землю пленения,
6 And we build the wall, and all the wall is joined — unto its half, and the people have a heart to work.
и не покрый беззакония их.
7 And it cometh to pass, when Sanballat hath heard, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, that lengthening hath gone up to the walls of Jerusalem, that the breeches have begun to be stopped, then it is very displeasing to them,
Бысть же егда услыша Санаваллат и Товиа, и Аравляне и Амманите, яко взыде отрасль стен Иерусалимских, зане начаша разселины заграждати, и зло им явися зело.
8 and they conspire, all of them together, to come in to fight against Jerusalem, and to do to it injury.
И собрашася вси вкупе, да приидут и ополчатся на Иерусалим и разорят его.
9 And we pray unto our God, and appoint a watch against them, by day and by night, because of them.
И молихомся ко Богу нашему и поставихом стражы на стене противу их день и нощь от лица их.
10 And Judah saith, 'The power of the burden-bearers hath become feeble, and the rubbish [is] abundant, and we are not able to build on the wall.'
Рече же Иуда: истомлена есть сила (от) враг, и земля многа есть, и мы не можем созидати стены.
11 And our adversaries say, 'They do not know, nor see, till that we come in to their midst, and have slain them, and caused the work to cease.'
И рекоша оскорбляющии нас: не познают и не увидят, дондеже приидем посреде их и убием их, и престати сотворим делу.
12 And it cometh to pass, when the Jews have come who are dwelling near them, that they say to us ten times from all the places whither ye return — [they are] against us.
И бысть егда приидоша Иудее, иже обитаху близ их, и реша нам: восходят от всех язык на ны.
13 And I appoint at the lowest of the places, at the back of the wall, in the clear places, yea, I appoint the people, by their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
И поставих в нижайших местех созади стен в закровении, и поставих люди по племеном с мечи их и с сулицами их и с луками.
14 And I see, and rise up, and say unto the freemen, and unto the prefects, and unto the rest of the people, 'Be not afraid of them; the Lord, the great and the fearful, remember ye, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.'
И видех, и востах, и рекох ко честным и к воеводам и ко прочым людем: не убойтеся от лица их, помяните Господа Бога нашего великаго и страшнаго, и ополчитеся за братию вашу, за сыны вашя и дщери вашя, жены вашя и домы вашя.
15 And it cometh to pass, when our enemies have heard that it hath been known to us, and God doth frustrate their counsel, and we turn back, all of us, unto the wall, each unto his work;
Бысть же егда услышаша врази наши, яко ведомо бысть нам, и разори Бог совет их: и возвратихомся вси мы на стены, кийждо ко делу своему.
16 yea, it cometh to pass, from that day, half of my servants are working in the business, and half of them are keeping hold of both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the heads [are] behind all the house of Judah.
И бысть от дне того, пол вчиненых делаху дело, и половина их уготована бысть ко брани с сулицами и щитами, и луки и бронями, и началницы созади всего дому Иудина.
17 The builders on the wall, and the bearers of the burden, those lading, [each] with one of his hands is working in the business, and one is laying hold of the missile.
Созидающии стену и носящии бремена со оружием: единою рукою своею творяху дело, а другою держаху мечь.
18 And the builders [are] each with his sword, girded on his loins, and building, and he who is blowing with a trumpet [is] beside me.
Созидающым же единому коемуждо мечь бысть опоясан при бедре его, и созидаху, и трубяху трубами близ их.
19 And I say unto the freemen, and unto the prefects, and unto the rest of the people, 'The work is abundant, and large, and we are separated on the wall, far off one from another;
И рекох ко честным и ко старейшинам и ко прочым людем: дело велико есть и пространно, и мы разлучени есмы на стене далече кийждо от брата своего:
20 in the place that ye hear the voice of the trumpet thither ye are gathered unto us; our God doth fight for us.'
на месте идеже услышите глас трубный, тамо тецыте к нам, и Бог наш ополчится о нас.
21 And we are working in the business, and half of them are keeping hold of the spears, from the going up of the dawn till the coming forth of the stars.
И мы быхом творяще дело, и пол нас держаху сулицы от восхода зари утренния даже до восхода звезд.
22 Also, at that time I said to the people, 'Let each with his servant lodge in the midst of Jerusalem, and they have been to us by night a guard, and by day [for] the work:'
Во время же то рекох людем: кийждо со отроком своим да пребывает в среде Иерусалима: и будет вам нощь на стражу, а день на делание.
23 and there are none — I and my brethren and my servants, the men of the guard who [are] after me — there are none of us putting off our garments, each [hath] his vessel of water.
Аз же и братия мои и отроцы и мужие стражи, иже бяху созади мене, не снимахом одеяний наших тамо ни един от нас.
